The body 110 has three ink storage chambers 112a, 112b, 112c and three ink outlets U6a, 116b, 116c. 'The ink outlets U6a, 116b, 116c are located at the bottom of the body 110, and the ink storage chambers 112a, 112b, 112c are respectively connected to the ink outlets 116a, 116b, 116c so as to be located in the ink storage chambers ii2a, 112b, The ink in 112c is supplied to the flow channel module 12A. The flow channel group 120 has two ink flow paths 122a, 122b, 122c. These ink storage chambers 112a, 112b, 112c are respectively provided by the ink outlets 116a, 116b at the bottom thereof. 116c is connected to the ink flow paths 22a, 122b, 122c. The ink flow paths 122a, 122b, 122c further have three ink supply ports 124a, 124b, 124c in the wafer bonding region R, respectively, so that the ink is output to the wafer bonding. Inkjet printhead on zone R (inkjet The manner in which the runner module 120 is joined to the bottom of the body 11 includes ultrasonic welding, laser welding or gluing, etc. In order to position the runner module 120 to the bottom of the body ho before and after the joining, The flow channel module 120 can be positioned to the bottom of the body by the relative engagement of the two card blocks 118a and 118b of the body and the two card slots 128 & and 128b of the flow channel module 120. However, only the positions of the body 110 and the flow path module 120 are located by the blocks ll8a and U8b and the card slots 128 & and 128b, only one side of the flow path module 120 can be secured (eg, near the left side of FIG. 1B, or The front end of the runner module 12 is positioned, and the other side of the runner module 12 (such as the right side of FIG. 1B or the rear end of the runner module 120) may swing. Therefore, if there is accurate positioning after assembly, it must be tested by the I284^Q4Lf.d0C/g tool above the secondary element level, which will generate the cost of f measurement time. If the swing condition is severe, there is a high possibility that the joint yield between the runner module 120 and the body 110 is poor. Therefore, in order to prevent the swing of the flow path module 120, one of the methods is to cooperate the interference between the blocks ll8a and 118b and the card slots 128a and 128b. However, when the blocks 118a and 118b and the card slots 128a and 128b are mated in an interference manner, stress concentration is caused at the intersection of the blocks 118a and 118b and the card slots i28a and 128b. If the flow channel module 120 is joined to the body 11 by ultrasonic welding, the ultrasonic energy will be concentrated in the place where the stress is concentrated, thereby causing the bonding yield between the flow channel module 120 and the body n〇. reduce.

The flow channel module 11 1284 fox wfdoc/g 320 has a wafer bonding area R, three ink flow paths 322a to 322c, and three ink supply ports 324a to 324c, wherein the ink supply ports 324a to 324c are located within the wafer bonding region R. The ink flow paths 322a to 322c communicate the ink discharge ports 316a to 316c to the ink supply ports M4a to 324c, respectively. The flow channel module 320 further has a base portion 320a joined to the body 31A, and a raised portion 320b protruding from the base portion 320a, wherein the wafer bonding region R is located on the lifting portion 320b, and the base portion 32a has a foundation. The surface B and the lifting portion 320a have a side surface S connecting the base surface B and the wafer bonding region R, and the angle a formed by the side surface S and the base surface B is between 9 ft and 135 degrees. The ink flow path 322a extends substantially parallel to the two-dimensional plane from the wafer bonding region R to the outside of the wafer bonding region R. Further, these ink supply ports 324a to 324c are sequentially arranged. In one embodiment, the direction in which the sections of the ink flow path 322a extend is substantially parallel to the arrangement direction of the ink supply ports 324a to 324c, which is the y-axis direction in Figs. 3A and 3B. In another embodiment, the angle between the extending direction of the section of the ink flow path 322a and the direction of the arrangement of the ink supply ports 324a to 324c is greater than zero degrees (i.e., the extending direction of the section of the ink flow path 322a is substantially non-parallel to The arrangement direction of the ink supply ports 324a to 324c, such as the design of the ink flow path 322b substantially parallel to the two-dimensional plane. In one embodiment, the ink storage chambers 312a to 312c are sequentially arranged, and the direction in which the sections of the ink/water flow path 322a extend is substantially parallel to the arrangement direction of the ink storage chambers 312a to 312c (y-axis direction); For example, the extending direction of the section of the ink flow path 322a does not substantially have to be parallel to the arrangement direction of the ink storage chamber 12 12846 like _ 312a 312 312c, for example, the ink flow path 322b is substantially parallel to the section of the two-dimensional plane. The way of design. Further, the ink storage chambers 312a to 312c are sequentially arranged, and the ink supply ports 324a to 324c are sequentially arranged, and the arrangement direction of the ink storage chambers 312a to 312c is substantially parallel to the arrangement direction of the ink supply ports (the x-axis direction). Since one, some or all of these ink flow paths are horizontally extended, the ink storage chambers 312a to 312c can be arranged in different directions. Therefore, compared with the ink storage chambers 212a to 212c of FIGS. 2A and 2B, the ink reservoirs 312a to 312c of FIGS. 3A and 3B can accommodate a larger sponge width (y-axis direction), which enables supply of ink. More generally, those skilled in the art are not limited to extending an ink flow path, and are designed to extend one or more ink flow paths as desired. Fig. 4A is a perspective exploded view of a view of the ink of the third embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 4B is a perspective exploded view of another view of the ink cartridge of the present invention of Fig. 4A. The third embodiment is a combination of the first embodiment and the second embodiment. The ink cartridge 400 includes a body 410, a flow guiding module 420, a plurality of engaging portions 430a to 430d, and a plurality of engaging portions 440a to 440d. The body 410 has three ink storage chambers 412a to 412c and three ink outlets 416a to 416c, wherein the ink outlets 416a to 416c are located at the bottom wall 450 of the body 410, and the ink storage chambers 412a to 412c are respectively connected to the outlets. Ink ports 416a to 416c. The flow path module 420 has a wafer bonding area R, three ink flow paths 422a to 422c, and three ink supply ports 424a to 424c, wherein the ink supply ports 424a to 424c are located within the wafer bonding region R, and the ink flow paths 422a ~ 422c 13 ltwf.doc/g The ink outlets 416a to 416c are respectively connected to the ink supply ports 42乜 to 424c. The flow channel module 420 may further have a base portion 420a joined to the body 41A, and a protrusion The lifting portion 42〇b of the base portion 420a, wherein the wafer bonding region R is located on the lifting portion 420b, and the base portion 42A has a base surface B, and the lifting portion 420a has a side connecting the base surface B and the wafer bonding surface S, and the angle a formed by the side S and the base surface b is between 卯 and 135 degrees. The engaging portions 430a to 430d are disposed on the body 410 in the form of, for example, four blocks as shown in FIG. 4A, and the engaging portions 440a to 440d are disposed in the flow path in the form of, for example, four card slots as shown in FIG. 4A. Module 420. The mutual engagement between the engaging portions 430a to 430d and the engaging portions 440a to 440d substantially fixes the relative positions of the main body 410 and the flow guiding module 420 on a two-dimensional plane. The two-dimensional plane is in FIGS. 2A and 2B. The plane on which the X and y axes are expanded. By the engagement of the engaging portions 430a to 430d and the engaging portions 440a to 440d, the movement of the flow path module 420 with respect to the body 410 along the positive X-axis, the negative X-axis positive γ-axis, and the negative γ-axis can be restricted. The flow path module Co is restricted from rotating relative to the body 410 about the z-axis (orthogonal to the X-axis and the y-axis). In other words, the engagement of the engaging portions 430a to 430d and the engaging portions 440a to 440d prevents the displacement of the flow path module 420 in the X-axis and the y-axis direction and the Z-axis (with the X-axis) when the flow path module 420 is mounted on the body 410. The rotational offset produced by the direction of the y-axis is orthogonal. In one embodiment, the engaging portions 430a to 430d are respectively disposed at four corners on the surface of the bottom wall 450 as shown in Fig. 4A. When the engaging portions 430c 14 twf.doc/g ~ 430ds are placed on the two corners of the bottom wall 450, the flow channel module 420 fixed to the bottom wall 45A can be protected to prevent the ink cartridges from falling. The impact of the runner module 420 on the ground causes damage to the runner module 42 or causes the runner module 420 to fall off. Since the engagement portions 430a to 430d and the engagement portions 440a to 44〇d are positioned, the accuracy of the positioning can be improved. Therefore, when the flow path module 42 is joined to the body 41 by, for example, ultrasonic welding, the quality and yield of the fusion are improved. However, the way in which the flow channel module is fixed to the body 410 is not limited to the ultrasonic wave. Others such as laser welding or adhesive bonding can also be used to loosen the flow channel to the body 410 ^ ' The flow channel module 420 is assisted to be positioned on the body 41 by the engagement portion arrangement of the present invention. The engaging portions 43〇a to 430d may be the card blocks, and the engaging portions 4 may be the card slots. However, in other embodiments not shown, these engaging== or all may be cards. a groove, and the two or all of the engaging portions: in addition, in one embodiment, when the engaging portions 43A and 4 are: the two sides of the bottom surface of the bottom wall 450 When (as shown in Fig. 4 VIII', it can be used as a positioning bump to provide positioning for the ink E 400 when it is worn on the printer.

Further, the ink supply ports 424a to 424c are sequentially arranged, and the arrangement direction of the ink storage chambers 412a to 412c is substantially parallel to the arrangement direction of the ink supply ports 424a to 424c (y-axis direction). In other embodiments, the extending direction of the section of the ink flow path 422a does not substantially have to be parallel to the arrangement direction of the ink storage chambers 412a to 412c, such as the ink flow path 422b substantially parallel to the section of the two-dimensional plane. The ink storage chambers 412a to 412c are arranged in different directions due to one, some or all of the horizontally extending ink flow paths. Therefore, the ink storage chambers 212a to 212c of FIGS. 2A and 2B are arranged. In comparison, the ink storage chambers 412a to 412c can accommodate a larger sponge width (y-axis direction), which makes the ink supply more normal, and those skilled in the art are not limited to extending an ink flow path, which can be visually required. The design extends one or more ink flow paths. Figure 5A is a schematic view of the flow path module of Figure 4A.
